Considerations include semiconductor cycles, geopolitical risks linked to China, and the pace of next-generation technology adoption.

Could ASML Holding stock go up or down?

Potential catalysts include AI-driven chip demand, High-NA EUV deployment, and sustained foundry investment. Risks include export controls, restrictions in China, or downturns in chip spending.

Should I invest in ASML Holding stock?

Any decision should align with individual strategy and risk appetite. ASML CFDs provide exposure to long-term semiconductor growth trends and AI demand, underpinned by its technological leadership. However, the stock is cyclical and subject to regulatory uncertainty. Independent research and diversification remain important considerations. Contracts for difference (CFDs) involve margin. Leverage higher than 1:1 magnifies both your potential gains and your potential losses.
